deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial

threatened species in response to permit applications that we received 
under the authority of section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species 
Act of 1973 (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.)
    After considering the information submitted with each permit 
application and the public comments received, we issued the requested 
permits subject to certain conditions set forth in each permit. For 
each application for an endangered species, we found that (1) the 
application was filed in good faith, (2) the granted permit would not 
operate to the disadvantage of the endangered species, and (3) the 
granted permit would be consistent with the purposes and policy set 
forth in section 2 of the ESA.

    The permittees' original permit application materials, along with 
public comments we received during public comment periods for the 
applications, are available for review. To locate the application 
materials and received comments, go to https://www.regulations.gov and
